Profile:
A likeable and entertaining all-rounder, and a fine captain of
his county and England. Starting his career with Surrey, and
part of the England tour party in 1932-33, he later led
Northamptonshire to great effect. Freddie Brown was a hard
hitting middle order batsman, noted for his free swinging
straight drives, and a versatile bowler. He started as a leg
break and googly bowler, but in his later years had much success
with medium pace cutters. His career was interrupted by World
War 2 (he spent several years in a POW camp), and he captained
England in Australia in 1950-51, where somewhat unluckily they
suffered a 4-1 defeat. He remained involved with cricket after
retirement, as a selector, chairman of the MCC, the Cricket
Council and English schools Cricket Association (Dave Liverman,
1998).
